As a follow-up to their original post on the Chain Chronicle Global Facebook page, goGame have now launched a petition to bring back Chain Chronicle in the West. Before signing the petition, fans are also asked to like goGames Facebook page.

GoGame Is Asking Fans for Support to Bring Chain Chronicle Back to the West

A few years ago, SEGA and Gumi announced a partnership to bring SEGA’s mobile games to the West, beginning with SEGA’s biggest mobile hit in Japan: Chain Chronicle. Unfortunately, things apparently didn’t work out between the two companies, and Gumi ended up shutting down Chain Chronicle on Feburary 29th, 2016. A fan petition was created to try and save the game, but seemingly to no avail. At least until now, as the long abandoned official Facebook page for the game suddenly showed a sign of life with a new message from the game’s mascot, Pirika:

Following the launch of SEGA Forever, SEGA’s new mobile service which aims to revolutionize retro gaming on mobile, it quickly became apparent that the emulation of their first batch of games was less than optimal. In particular, DigitalFoundry’s John Linneman told people to stay away from the games altogether, noting the poor performance of the new Unity wrapper used in 90% of the games. Now, SEGA’s Mike Evans has addressed a number of questions from Eurogamer in a rather harsh interview. Reading the interview, I have mixed thoughts about both some of Mike Evan’s answers as well as Eurogamer’s questions.

Liberasion of Azure (which we also referred to as Liberation of the Blue Sky in earlier articles) has been one of SEGA’s more interesting mobile games in Japan, as its 2D side-scrolling beat ’em up gameplay sets it apart from the countless tower defense RPGs typically found on the platform.

As part of its initiative to add connectivity between their arcade and mobile games, SEGA will be releasing a mobile version of their long-running Star Horse arcade games, titled Star Horse Pocket, in Japan. The arcade versions of Star Horse are a mix between a horse racing simulation and betting game, and it looks like the mobile game will feature similar mechanics. That said, the mobile version of the game will also feature five female characters who will apparently serve as your secretaries. The character art may look familiar to fans of the recent games in the Shining franchise, as they were drawn by the same artist: Tony Taka. You can find images of all five characters below, along with the two trailers for the game. The official website for the game can be found here.
